.To all whom t may concern Be it known that I, Dancin S. MYERS, a citizen of the United States, residing at. Waukegan, in the county of Lake and State of Illinois, have invented new and useful Improvements in Battery-Container Molds,

of which the following is a specification.

which are subjected to heat and molded and vulcanized one to another to form a co1nplete battery container or casing, of unitary construction, which Will eliminate many of the inconveniences and disadvantages contingent with approved types of battery containers, -Wherein Athe hand-les are usually formed of` metal land are separate construction corroding easily,.',,which corrosion weakens the handles and often results ,in accidental dropping and breaking of batteries.rv

Another'object` of this inifention is to provide a mold as specified which is designed for forming successive containers or cases 1n exact duplication, and which' mold is adapted to be used in approvedtypes of'heating vats embodying suitable compressors or compressing' means whereby'the, sheet rubber placed in the mold is irstlrendered pliable and then pressed into shape and the various parts molded. one to another, by the `application of pressure to themold or to a plu rality ofmolds. i

A further object of this invention is to provide a\mold as specified which is comparatively simple in construction and the parts of which may be quickly and easily as.. sembled. A

' Other objects of the invention will appear in the following detailed description taken in connection with the accompanying drawings wherein: i y

Fig. 1 is a side elevation of the complete mold.`

Fig. 2 is an end elevation of the complete mold.

Fig. 3 is a side elevation of the core of the Fig. 4 is an endl elevation of the core of the mold. 1'

with a plurality of transversel Application led April 15, 1922. Serial No. 553,232.

` Fig. 5 is a top plan of the core of the mold. v

Fig. 6 is a longitudinal vertical section through the mold assembled and taken on the line 6-6 of Fig. 2.

Fig. 7 is a vertical cross section through the assembled mold taken on the line 7--7 of rig. 1.

Fig. 8 is a perspective view of one o f the partitions of the container prior to its insertion into the mold. 1.

Fig, 9 is a perspective view4 of the side plate of the container.

Eig. 10 is a fragmentary perspective view of the bottom forming sheet of the container.

Fig. 11 is a detail perspective view of the end forming sheet of the container.

Fig. 12 is a perspective View of the handle of the container,

Fig. 13 is a perspective view of thestrip of material for forming the bridges or plate supports in the battery container.

Fig. 14 is a detail end view showing the relat1ve positions of the endl and handle forming plates.

Referring more particularly tothe draw l ings, the improved mold comprises the rectangular casing 1, the interior of which is smooth with the. exception ofthe cut out portions 2 at lthe inner surface of each endadjacent the lower edge of the casing, which cut out portions are provided for, receiving the handle forming plates 4: as shown in perspective in Figure 12 of the drawings... A

A core structure 5 is provided for cooperation .with the casing l and also with the top plate 6. of the mold structure. The core .struct-ure 5 comprises a base 7 which is provided with a plurality of bolt holes 8 having coun-tersinks 9v in their lower ends vand these bolt holes 8 rece-ive therethrough bolts i 10- which` serve to connect the upstanding cores 11, to the base 7. The upstanding cores 11 have their sides slightly tapering towardseach jother, 'towards their `upper ends, as clearly shown in Figs. 3 andl 6 of the drawings and their ends "slightly taper as shown in Figs. 4 and 7 .of the drawings, to facilitate the removal of the" core from Vthe battery container after jthe latter has been formed. The cores l1l are provided for forming'the plate receiving openings in the battery container, and they are provided extending grooves 12 which are substantial y frusto triangular in crosssection and are adapted to ouslng.

10 cotes ou said bootomf'aomovable top,

mongool 'extending grooves in zs outer' surface mld adopted to rest upon tho oppor odge of said battry o bottom 3. A mold for forming storage oontalners comprlsmg 'oosmg,

o dopondng centrlly located portion fom'nor on said top LiL-nd having its odge@ soood sightly fromthe inner Surfaces of t 1o casing to-pormt the overow 'of surplus container forming composition, and anchoiing finger hole forming members adjustably carried by sdid toasmg.

In testimony whereof I `affix my signature.
